Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within fourteen days without specifying any reasons.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you.

Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-5960 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

Proposed Project
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Morbidity Surveillance—New—National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC is responsible for the reporting and dissemination of nationally notifiable STD morbidity information for prevention and control purposes in collaboration with state and local health departments. Recent changes in sexually transmitted disease (STD) epidemiology in the United States indicate that the existing passive surveillance for STD does not include all the elements needed in order to control and prevent STDs in the U.S. Towards that end, CDC is proposing a new electronic information collection called STD Morbidity Surveillance that will include information on laboratory confirmation of syphilis infection and risk behaviors of persons infected with syphilis and other STDs. Physicians and other providers collect demographic, risk, and clinical (including laboratory) information from persons diagnosed with notifiable STDs during a clinical encounter or counseling session. The Start Printed Page 3047respondents will submit the information electronically, to the state and local public health departments. Clinical specimens obtained from case-patients are submitted to private or public diagnostic laboratories with laboratory requisition forms which includes information on the provider and case-patient. A subset of the information reported to state health departments from health care providers or laboratories is reported electronically as a case report e-record to CDC's Nationally Notifiable Disease Surveillance System on a weekly basis. CDC estimates that 57 respondents spend 20 minutes each week extracting notifiable STD surveillance information from their electronic information system. CDC staff review STD morbidity data at varying frequencies to identify population subgroups at increased risk for STDs. The target evidence-based intervention strategies, evaluate the impact of ongoing control efforts, thus enhancing our understanding of STD transmission. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 989.

Loft conversions are by far one of the most common types of home improvement we see on the market today. With housing prices rising, many people are looking for new ways to get more out of the property they own rather than browsing the listings. A loft conversion can be just the thing to give your home that long-desired boost, with minimum disruption and fuss, yet benefits that will last a lifetime.
Space and utility are the main benefits that often spring to mind when talking of loft conversions, but there are actually a number of others that may not have crossed your mind.
1. Minimum Disruption
Loft conversions are done from the outside using scaffolding, so you can continue to live at home during the process with minimum disruption to the other rooms in your home.
This is often not the case for most types of home improvement, where inhabitants are often required to move out of bedrooms; rearrange their living quarters or go without water for some hours of the day.
2. Increased House Value
A loft conversion is absolutely a good investment for the future. Not only will you get the instant benefit of the extra space, you'll also be adding up to 20% to your home's current value.
This puts you in a good position should you ever wish to sell the house in later life.
3. Opportunity to get Creative
The loft is often a wasted space, rarely used to the fullest of its potential. But when you think about converting it, you open up the doors to a whole range of ways in which you can get creative with your new room.
With an imaginative use of large windows or glazing, you can make a breathtaking space where you'll enjoy spending time. Or, you may decide to turn it into a purpose-built storage room, such as a recording studio, rehearsal room or home cinema. Many people also use it to incorporate nifty storage facilities that are disguised or hidden in the existing interior.
The choices are endless. Consult your architect or an interior designer for inspiration on how to use your space.
4. Increased Energy Efficiency
When you create another room above your house, you are adding space on top of your home that can improve its energy efficiency. A loft conversion helps to keep things warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer – its essentially like putting a 'hat' on the top of your house, experts say.
5. Experienced Fitters
Loft conversions are one of the oldest home improvements going back 30 or so years, says Lindsay Cuthill, head of residential sales for Savills. There is likely to be no problem they haven't encountered, so experienced builders such as Liverpool Joinery Company can be trusted to give the right verdict when it comes to creating your loft.
That means that when they say it'll take six weeks, you can probably take their word for it, and other measurements or potential problems that may arise will be dealt with appropriately.
6. Salvage your Garden
By opting for a loft conversion, you don't have to forego your garden to create extra floor space in your home. Whether your garden is large or small, its no doubt likely to be a valuable asset, particularly for those living in urban neighbourhoods.
Converting the loft is a fantastic way of transforming an otherwise unused, non-functional space, allowing you to maintain full use of your garden and therefore enjoy the best of both worlds.

Dean's Message
It has been a very eventful year for the Jake Jabs College of Business and Entrepreneurship. Perhaps one of the most significant days in the life of our college was marked by the grand opening of Jabs Hall on May 7th, 2015. As the new home for our college, Jabs Hall embodies many of the values that provide our foundation for the future. It is clearly one of the most open, inviting, and collaboration-friendly buildings on campus. It offers inspiring views from the many large windows throughout the building, coupled with intimate seating areas for students to work together or alone. Even if students are not taking classes in one of the eleven classrooms in the building, we are already seeing them come to use the great workspaces sprinkled throughout.
Our new home in Jabs Hall is the perfect place from which to implement our new mission: To inspire creativity, innovation, and growth. This new mission statement was the result of a series of discussions about how we could really live up to the "entrepreneurship" in our college's name. We realize that not every student wants to start his or hers own venture, and that we still have the responsibility for preparing our students to work in the many large firms that recruit our students. Our discussions led us to what we think is at the core of what makes any business professional, whether an entrepreneur or an employee of a large firm, successful. We want to graduate business professionals that can think creatively and develop innovative solutions and business ideas. We also want those graduates to embrace their own personal and professional growth, while contributing to the economic growth of Montana and the nation. To do all this, we are developing ways to inspire creativity in our curriculum, by making our courses more accessible to students from other colleges on campus. We believe that having our students work alongside engineers, scientists, and artists will broaden their horizons and increase their ability to work across disciplines. In that spirit, we are also introducing new courses, such as our interdisciplinary design course, taught by a faculty team from business, engineering, and graphics design.
With a "collaboration lab" dedicated to interdisciplinary projects, Jabs Hall provides the perfect venue for encouraging these creative activities. Add to that the ever-increasing number and quality of students that are choosing MSU for their business education combined with our great faculty and accomplished alumni, the future of the Jake Jabs College of Business and Entrepreneurship looks very bright indeed. We are well on our way to being known as the most creative, collaborative, and entrepreneurial business school in the region.
I invite you to learn more about our College by looking through our website – and please, stop in for a visit sometime!

I was earlier the Director Photography for Forbes India and ForbesLife India. I have been a photojournalist since 1991, starting with a four-year stint with the Hindustan Times in Delhi, a place that I still call the best finishing school for photography. In 1995, I moved to BusinessWorld magazine attracted by their outstanding coverage of the emerging India. In 2005, I came to edit India's leading photography magazine, Better Photography. When I am not working, I am a fan of the outdoors and road trips. I was able to combine all these loves when I did a series of motorcycle trips to the Himalayas to document the fragile ecosystem and its people. This culminated in a exhibition of photographs called "Endless Horizons" at the IGNCA, Delhi, in January 2000, along with two other photographers, Gurinder Osan and the late Pradeep Bhatia. I have enjoyed the role photography plays in what is an otherwise word-dominated profession of journalism.
Three hours after my colleagues and I landed at Mannat, Shah Rukh Khan's (SRK) home, we were told the super star wasn't feeling too well and that there was a chance he would be in no shape to be photographed. His publicist though assured us come what may, SRK would live true to his promise and make it for the shoot. When, was anybody's guess.
Daena Sethna, (the stylist for the shoot), was there much before we were. She suggested I go through SRK's wardrobe and try figure out what could possibly work best for the cover and the inside pages. I'd had a chat with Anjan Das, our design director earlier and the both of us reckoned black would work well on the cover. So between Daena and me, we looked through the options on hand. We finally settled on a Chinese collared shirt under a textured blazer.
For the pictures that would appear inside the magazine, I very badly wanted him to wear suspenders over a T-shirt and denims. Daena liked the thought as well. But she warned me SRK doesn't like suspenders, and that he has never worn one for a shoot ever before. But that said, I thought I might as well give it a shot. If the big man didn't want to, we'd look at other options.
Dabboo Ratnani, the photographer assigned to do the shoot and I went over the look and feel we wanted. I told him in graphic detail what Anjan and I had in mind.
I thought we had all bases covered and Dabboo's assistants started to set the lights up. He fired a few frames using a dummy model to fine tune the lighting. It was intended to be classical and Dabboo was getting very close to what Anjan and I wanted. All we now needed was SRK.
Just when we thought we were ready, a bombshell dropped. We were told SRK was now very unwell and running 101 degrees. And while he'd still make it for the shoot, he perhaps wouldn't be up to going in for a change of clothes.
Dabboo and I quickly convened and decided we'd make do with what we have on hand. It didn't look like our plan to shoot him with suspenders would work. When SRK finally came in, he looked horribly unwell. And for the life of me, it was unfathomable how he was punishing his body with both a cigarette and a drink when feeling so hopelessly down. But that said, the man lived up to his promise.
I briefed him on what we were looking for. He heard Dabboo and me out closely and a few minutes later, got into the outfits we'd chosen, looking remarkably composed, and went to the spot Dabboo had marked.
The atmosphere quietened. When the make up team finished giving Shah Rukh the final touch-up, he looked the camera in the eye. What followed was a remarkable transformation. In a few seconds, he had morphed into the superstar all of us are used to watching on screen. In that instant, I knew we had latched on to a good thing.
Dabboo started firing away and Shah Rukh kept changing his expressions for every frame, but well within the limits of our brief. Between shots, he'd come over to Dabboo's laptop to see how the images were turning out and check with us if things were going to plan. I said yes. But even as I said yes, I could see he was making notes in his head and when he went back under the lights, he delivered what was as close to the brief as was humanly possible.
Buoyed on by how he was going about it, I went up to him and asked if he'd be upto changing his attire and using suspenders. He heard me out. I told him traders on Wall Street like to wear suspenders and that if he did, it would go well in a business magazine. He heard me out, got the logic pat, and agreed to change.
Back on the sets, the next set of frames Dabboo shot was all the evidence I needed that these men had done many shoots together in the past. The atmosphere between them was easy going as SRK flitted between expressions with the ease of a trained dancer. The only problem as I could see was that most of these expressions were happy go lucky ones, and none of them would work for the opening image.
When SRK came to look at how the shoot had turned out, I told him that while each one of those images would have been magnificent on any other day, it was way off brief for what I had in mind. Like a thorough professional, he went back under the lights and like a magician, transformed himself into what I had in mind.
It was as if we were shooting a ruthless banker on Wall Street.
Shoot done, the "banker" went about looking for a doll to give Myra, Dabboo's adorable little daughter, who was prancing on the sets, thrilled to bits that her hero was around. He found one, chatted with her a bit, the little girl was happy, and so were we. While Dabboo's team wound the lights down, we got ready to settle down in his library for what would turn out to be a three hour conversation. And guess what was the first thing he told us? "I get very disturbed with still photography. I do it only for films. But not for magazines. I have a problem posing as me. I have no problem posing as a character."

'Boy Band' Recap: Chance Breaks Down Crying During Rehearsals
It was all about Reverb this week on 'Boy Band.' Did the second group of six impress the architects? And which went home?
This week was all about Reverb — the boy band Nick Carter said is the six top vocalists on the show. Made up of Andrew Bloom, 19, Jaden Gray, 16, Brady Tutton, 15, Chance Perez, 19, Jon Klaasen, 19, and Cam Jackson, 19, Reverb's week of rehearsals began with a visit from Emma Bunton. She took the time to let them know that it was important that they bond as a group, and that they also need to embrace their own personalities in a group — just like how the Spice Girls did.
Emma's a bit kinder than vocal producer Tim Davis. He challenged the guys with Rihanna's song "Stay," but the performance part was just as tough as the vocal. Since the song was an emotional one, and all the guys had different connections — so the producers had them all get in touch with those feelings. Brady admitted he struggled with a stutter as a child, and it only went away when he sang; Cam revealed he was put in a wheelchair after suffering an injury and wasn't sure he'd ever walk again; and Chance actually broke town in tears over the break up with his daughter's mother, then about the death of his own father, who passed when he was eight.
I Want You To Stay
They may have struggled in rehearsals, but the six guys pulled it together and shocked everyone with their performance — Nick and Emma were in awe and admitted they did not expect them to be that great. I have to say it was nice that Nick wasn't all compliments though — he told the guys what they needed to work on, too. Ultimately not all of them could stay. Jon was sent home.
HollywoodLifers, are you bummed about this week's elimination? Who are you rooting for? Let us know!

If we add this to 2.2-dev we can change things anyway (even interfaces if required). Carsten

text: One of the basic bacteriological findings used in helping to determine the quality and safeness of drinking water is the agar plate count. Raw water samples show the kind of water entering the plant and are a fair indicator of the treatment that will be needed. Plate counts of water samples taken at various places in the plant, such as settling basins or point of chlorination, show the effectiveness of the various treatment. Water leaving the plant is termed plant effluent, and results on this water are of primary concern. Its count should be very low, such as 1-8 per mil, if the water has been successfully treated.

Josh Friedman's Procedural Panic
Both seasons have been in my "to watch" pile, unopened, for more than a year now, but after reading Friedman's hilarious account of being caught up in his own police procedural after someone broke into his office, I'm inclined to watch the show just to show my retroactive support for the guy. Go read Friedman's post here for the whole sordid story, including some welcome insights into the inner-workings of the TV industry. It's a bit long, but trust me, it'll breeze right by. You'll be glad you did.

To quote an old Al Murray pub landlord joke, where would we be without rules? France! And if we had too many rules, where would we be? Germany!
As the lighting industry gets ready for Light + Building in Frankfurt, a big concern for the many new members of the Lux team has been on the type of hotels available. My suggestion is not to worry because all German hotel rooms are the same. If you disagree with me on this, please send me a tweet.
The room will be functional, clean, the bed will be about 5mm from the floor, formed from two single mattresses, the bed linen will be crisp and white, the duvet will be too small and too thin, you'll only have one pillow. The floor will be wood or industrial grade carpet and you'll find a small packet of Haribo on the pillow when you arrive.
Standard hotels
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a German DIN standard for hotels. An attempt was made to standardise British hotels in the late 1980s. Happily the standard didn't catch on, but many of the hotels that adopted the draft standard are still there today, often branded as 'traditional' hotels, and you'll know when you're in one.
There are plenty of examples around Cambridge, Oxford and, particularly, the NEC in Birmingham. The light switch will be brass with a rope edge, to match the picture lights. The room will be small with a oral print wallpaper.
The room temperature will be tropical in summer and sub-zero in winter. Biscuits will be Walkers shortbread and every room will be equipped with the world's most useless electrical device, a Corby trouser press. Service like breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking will be an expensive extra.
Standards are important, and a trawl of the British Standards website brings up a rich tapestry that reflects daily life: BS 4034: 1990 – Specification for Vitrified Hotelware, that's cups and plates to you and me; BS 1970: 2001 Hot Water Bottles manufactured from Rubber and PVC.
Even a cup of tea has been standardised in BS 6008: 1980 Preparation of a Liquor of Tea for use in Sensory Tests. These standards mean that hotels can be sure the plates they buy will stack and the Daily Mail isn't full of stories about exploding Chinese hot water bottles.
Also, there is an extensive list of lighting product standards. Just because technology is changing doesn't mean they don't apply, which may come as a surprise to many producers of LED fittings.
BS EN 60598 is the main standard you should be looking for – it covers every type of light fitting from portable hand lamps to stage and TV lighting. This standard isn't so concerned about efficiency and general lighting performance, but is specific about construction and safety.
You may not know that a fitting specified for outdoor use, such as a floodlight or architectural luminaire, should not be supplied with PVC cable and it's amazing how many products miss this subtle requirement.
Perhaps the most abused standard in the world is the CE mark. It's supposed to be a declaration that a product complies with all the standards that apply to it. Everything from safety and EMC to product markings. It's often said that CE means Chinese Export because it does not provide the assurance that is associated with the UL mark in the US.
The established and trusted manufacturers in the lighting industry invest signi cantly to make sure products comply with relevant standards. If you're concerned about the products you are specifying or being offered, ask the manufacturer to provide a copy of an EC declaration of conformity.
This is a legal requirement under the CE regulations, the document must list the BS/EN standards with which a product complies. In many cases you'll find it included with product instructions or data sheets.

In conjunction with December's EBN cover story, "Buyer beware," which examined consumer readiness for purchasing their own health care coverage via public and private exchanges, Dr. Raymond Fabius, chief medical officer at Truven Health Analytics, penned this guest commentary - which originally appeared on EBN's blog - questioning the wisdom of shifting to the exchange- only model. -Kelley M. Butler
Sears Holdings and Darden Restaurants shook up the health care industry recently, when they announced a new approach to providing health care coverage to employees. Under the new plans, employees will be given a fixed sum of money each year to choose their coverage and insurer from an online marketplace.
The logic behind the approach is simple: By creating a marketplace, employees will be able to comparison shop and insurers will compete harder to get workers to select their plans, ultimately lowering health care costs. Unfortunately, the realities of health care consumerism do not follow simple logic.
Consider the recent health care experiences of Johnson & Johnson, Navistar and PPG - companies that all have found that providing more comprehensive benefit designs to their employee populations have actually helped to reduce overall health care costs.
In Johnson & Johnson's case, after analyzing the cost of treating chronic conditions related to obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and tobacco use among its employee population, implementing a preventive wellness program saved the company $565 per employee per year - between $1.88 and $3.92 for every dollar spent to implement the program.
Similarly, Navistar and PPG were able to reduce overall medical costs by increasing their investment in wellness, risk reduction and disease management.
Tempting, but dangerous, assumption
These types of population-specific nuances can get lost when benefits are designed exclusively around short-term cost-cutting. By implementing what amounts to a privatized health care exchange for their employees, Sears and Darden are succumbing to a tempting, but potentially dangerous, assumption that a health care market will behave like a stock market. But health care is not governed by efficient market forces. All available information is not "priced-in" for health care consumers.
In fact, our research on moving employer-sponsored health care coverage onto an exchange-based benefit design shows that there is no short- or long-term financial advantage. Using insurance claims and wage data from 33 large employers with 933,000 employees, we were able to project employer health care costs for 2014-2020 under a number of different exchange-based scenarios, each with varying levels of employer/employee contribution.
Ultimately, we found that moving employees onto a government-subsidized insurance exchange would increase the financial burden as much as $17,268 per employee per year, which is $9,000 more per employee per year than they currently spend. This estimate was based on the assumption that the employer would make the employee "whole" by providing after-tax wage increases to subsidize the additional costs for employees to purchase insurance through the government insurance exchange. We also modeled a scenario in which the employer did not subsidize the employee's additional costs at all, which resulted in a cost-shift to employees of more than $16,000 per year.
Significant unexpected costs
How can moving employees onto an exchange-based model increase total health care costs by thousands of dollars a year? There are several areas where employers can lose efficiency and incur significant unexpected costs if they don't ask the right questions.
Chief among these is a major loss in purchasing power. By effectively fragmenting employees across a marketplace of insurers, early adopters of consumer-choice plans will lose their chief source of leverage in negotiating bulk discounts with health plans.
Employers moving onto an exchange-based design also must evaluate the incremental additional cost of carrier risk, margin and exchange administration fees. Based on our model, the estimated cost of lost purchasing efficiency by moving to an exchange is $2,990 per employee per year on an allowed cost basis including administrative service and margin costs.
Loss of aggregate analytics
The second major driver is a lost opportunity to manage population health and productivity for the long term. Whereas Johnson & Johnson, Navistar and PPG were able to achieve cost reductions by analyzing and tweaking their benefit design based on the behavioral realities of their employee populations, companies that shift the benefit selection process to their employees lose the kind of aggregate, companywide analytics that can influence truly effective benefit design. Critical measures such as chronic disease management and its relationship with absenteeism, and the impact of wellness programs on population health are incorporated into effective top-down benefit design. When plan choice is left up to workers themselves, will they always choose the most effective plan for managing their unique health care needs?
Still several unknowns
Beyond these issues, there are still several unknowns surrounding the treatment of private insurance exchanges in accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Still, with its laser focus on short-term cost-reduction, the insurance exchange approach likely will gain followers among employers. Our data show large employers with traditional benefit designs in place spent $10,120 per employee per year on medical and pharmacy payments in 2011. Without any changes in benefit design, that number is projected to rise 4.9% to $10,615 per employee in 2012, and 5.1% to $11,156 per employee in 2013. Amid the current economic struggles, any new approach that looks like it will decrease that burden while keeping companies compliant with PPACA is tempting.
As more companies consider following the lead of Sears and Darden, it will be critical for those involved in the benefit design process to carefully evaluate the real-world cost of an exchange-based approach. This involves digging much deeper than bottom-line premiums. Long- and short-term population health, employee productivity and maintenance of chronic disease will be the true metrics against which effective plan design is measured. By focusing on cost alone, we are ignoring an important half of the health care equation: good health.

In today's fast-paced, ultra-competitive, high-tech world of global business and instant gratification, many people get caught up in the need to be completely perfect and highly productive. As a result of their training or education, most people in positions of leadership and management are competent in their field, but too few have ever been trained, educated, or had sound experience in leadership.
True leadership requires courage in its application. Just because a person is in a position of leadership doesn't mean he/she understands how to be a good leader. The feeling of bearing the responsibility for the accomplishment of the goals of one's team without the capability to personally perform all of the tasks required can be daunting.
As a leader, you have the responsibility of accomplishing the job with your team, but you can not do the jobs of each of your team members. Your task is to use each team member in the best possible way to achieve the best performance and to orchestrate, motivate, and influence the entire team to achieve its best performance.
You may know how to do all of the individual tasks required of each of your team members, but they have to do them. It takes courage to support and guide the members of your team knowing that all failures are your responsibility.
Many leaders and managers assume that being a leader means that everyone else must serve the leaders needs and desires and carry out his or her orders, directives and programs. That may work in some situations; however, people don't willingly, enthusiastically follow a poor leader (dictator).
People need understanding, guidance, clear communication, resources, support, training and motivation in an environment where they can be successful. These are the responsibility of the leader. It takes courage to give your team all of the above without being able to give up the responsibility.
"The buck stops here…" "Its lonely at the top…" are appropriate descriptions of a leader's situation.
Courage is necessary to accept the awesome responsibility of leading people.
- You must be willing to listen to the failures of your people, to handle the bad news and still keep the team on course.
- You must stand up and speak out when you are right even though you may risk failure.
- You must be courageous to accept challenges, risk and fail, and pick yourself up and go after the rest of the challenge.
Life is a contact sport. Only the competitive participants achieve true victory. Spectators in life are not leaders. Leaders must have courage to compete, meet challenges and succeed while guiding, supporting and influencing their teams to victory.

wisdom 2:12, 17-20; james 3:16—4:3; mark 9:30-37
a fisherman was carrying his catch of crabs back home in an open basket. a passer-by remarked: «aren't you afraid the crabs will crawl out?» the fisherman replied: «no! do you know anything about the behaviour of crabs? watch!»
as a crab crawled towards the top of the basket, the others pulled the climber down. this kept happening! the crabs would not allow the others to climb towards the top.
it's not just crabs that pull one another down. we do the same because of jealousy and selfish ambition.
today's readings address these two human foibles that destroy people.
in the second reading, st james writes: «where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every foul practice,» and lists the reason for war and conflict: unsatisfied craving.
the first reading from the book of wisdom is a rare, inside-view of how selfish minds work, and illustrates the extremes to which jealousy and selfish ambition can lead a person when confronted by a «righteous man».
it's the same in the gospel. the religious leaders are jealous of the righteous man called JESUS; his virtue is an examination of conscience for them! he predicts that they will hand him over to torturers.
jealousy and selfish ambition destroy people and community.
JESUS smells these foibles enter his fledgling church! he has just instructed his disciples on his coming passion. but suffering does not fit into their perspective of the kingdom; they cannot comprehend the powerlessness that JESUS maps out for himself. they are busy discussing their great positions in the kingdom.
JESUS nips this one in the bud. he puts a child in their midst and challenges the twelve to welcome that little child. when they can welcome «littleness,» they welcome him.
in effect, JESUS compares himself to the little child who cannot resort to power tactics when threatened. on the road to jerusalem, in the face of suffering and death, he can only turn to his father in trust. this makes him vulnerable; unless the disciples can accept vulnerability they will never understand his way.
when we are righteous and live upright lives, we can be sure that people will pull us down. the challenge before us:
will i give in to jealousy and selfish ambition? will i resort to power tactics or will i welcome the vulnerability of a little child?
how will i welcome and accept the child part of my personality, and become less power conscious and success oriented?

American Literature in the World is an innovative anthology offering a new way to understand the global forces that have shaped the making of American literature. The wide-ranging selections are structured around five interconnected nodes: war; food; work, play, and travel; religions; and human and nonhuman interfaces. Through these five categories, Wai Chee Dimock and a team of emerging scholars reveal American literature to be a complex network, informed by crosscurrents both macro and micro, with local practices intensified by international concerns. Selections include poetry from Anne Bradstreet to Jorie Graham; the fiction of Herman Melville, Gertrude Stein, and William Faulkner; Benjamin Franklin's parables; Frederick Douglass's correspondence; Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders; Langston Hughes's journalism; and excerpts from The Autobiography of Malcom X as well as Octavia Butler's Dawn. Popular genres such as the crime novels of Raymond Chandler, the comics of Art Spiegelman, the science fiction of Philip K. Dick, and recipes from Alice B. Toklas are all featured. More recent authors include Junot Diaz, Leslie Marmon Silko, Jonathan Safran Foer, Edwidge Danticat, Gary Shteyngart, and Jhumpa Lahiri. These selections speak to readers at all levels and invite them to try out fresh groupings and remap American literature. A continually updated interactive component at www.amlitintheworld.yale.edu complements the anthology.

Editorial Reviews
With the inimitable vision we have come to expect from her, Dimock has assembled a nimble model for reading American literature beyond U.S. borders and traditional periodization, across both space and time. This vision of American literary history as an international, outward-facing, worldly tradition is timely and needed.
